The Missing

To miss you the second that you are gone, To long for you the moment you left. How I wish I could hold you longer, how I wish I could just not let you go, how I wish you could be mine. Forever. To put off the fire that burns me, and those waves that drown me, to bring breath to my chest and pulse to my heart. I wish I could split in two. One of me would just make you love me and the other would just enjoy your love. One of me would just suffer to bring you to me and the other would welcome you. But I can't, I am no angel nor spirit. I am just a man, incurably in love with you.
